Katerina Stamatelos: Home Page.

I am Katerina Stamatelos and, on this page, I will try to describe in short the processes which have formed my artistic personality.

I have been drawing since my childhood: models in fanciful dresses, but mostly entire cities. I also used to write poetry.

By age nine, I knew exactly what I wanted to become in life: an architect! But then, by age fifteen, I listened to Khachaturian’s second symphony: my feelings were so intense that I immediately knew I HAD to become a musician. Composition never appeared into my fantasy world: I thought this was the privilege of musical geniuses and I did not consider myself being one.

Throughout my adolescence, several teachers of different disciplines were trying to talk me into this or the other artistic profession. All had one common demand: absolute devotion. I followed that by choosing piano performance and, over the next decades, I devoted myself to this art entirely. I was happy with my decision but not entirely happy to have chosen only one direction-and, secretly, continued drawing…..

The good thing about my choice: I learned to focus. This ability would prove to be priceless during my later artistic development.

But, one day, something inside me exploded: I allowed myself to study Fashion Design! What followed was a complete surprise: I started composing! Poetry seemed to flow naturally... Finally, serious painting followed.

Now, I finally recognize my “personal” truth: all of these talents go together; nothing works when I exclude the others. I feel free and happier than ever before. Needless to say, I still design houses!

Nowadays, and after having been busy teaching for over 25 years, I concentrate exclusively on the production of art and music. From composing music to painting and designing every day consumer goods, my fascination stays the same: I am absolutely in love with creation! And, I am not trying to hide this fact. I hope that, within these pages, you will take the time to explore!

Additional web pages with content will be added regularly. Plus, you will find that my interests are really diverse! For example, musicians and artists are often confronted with problems such as: credit, insurance, loans, and mortgage. Further, they often require the assistance of attorneys, and lawyers. Yes, we are also 'common' human beings! But, within my website, you will also find information about education and classes(including online education), degree analysis and further reference. Finally, as it lies close to my heart, information about the issue how to donate is included. I hope that you do take the time to browse around. Enjoy!
